RONALD ALBERTO FALLAS,
Plaintiff,
v.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:12-0319

KAREN HOGSTEN, Warden,
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
By Standing Order, this action was referred to United
States Magistrate Judge R. Clarke VanDervort for submission of
findings and recommendation regarding disposition pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B).

Magistrate Judge VanDervort submitted to

the court his Findings and Recommendation on July 11, 2012, in
which he recommended that the court deny plaintiff’s motion to
proceed in forma pauperis, grant plaintiff's “Motion for
Dismissal of Civil Action,” dismiss this matter without
prejudice, and remove this case from the court’s docket.
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b),
plaintiff was allotted fourteen days and three mailing days in
which to file any objections to Magistrate Judge VanDervort's
Findings and Recommendation.

The failure of any party to file

such objections within the time allowed constitutes a waiver of
such party's right to a de novo review by this court.
